| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoMarks has a skill with character, and her clear trust in Cho and Isaac is rewarded with a father/daughter chemistry that we believe 100%, which allows the emotional arc to connect even when we can see where it’s going. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandDon’t Make Me Go is a sweet, charming, and eventually daring dramedy with tons of heart. |

| NMENick LevineDon’t Make Me Go is a strange beast: a film that feels a little predictable until it snaps and stretches credulity to the limit. Thankfully, Cho and Isaac’s affecting performances are a lot more nuanced than the writing. |
| VarietyMichael NordineThe movie’s ending is misguided to the point of being perplexing rather than upsetting, recasting everything that came before it in a less favorable light. That’s a shame, as this father-daughter drama starring John Cho has more than its fair share of touching moments before hitting the roadblock that is its questionable third act. |
| Chicago TribuneNina MetzThe performances are honest and true and that gives things a considerable boost. |
